User Reviews

love it or hate it?

There seems to be a lot of polarity about this film. People seem to either love it or hate it. I don't get this. People who make investments are relatively well off. You can't invest with Bernie Madoff in an IRA or a 401(k), so we are talking about people that have money to invest beyond an IRA or a 401(k). We are talking about rich people. People with millions and millions of dollars that they don't know what to do with. These people need to be PROTECTED from the actions of the likes of Bernie Madoff. That's right. Rich people need -the government- to protect them from the being ripped off. Yes, even liberals, or people that you think are liberals, can see that rich people need to be treated fairly.
